Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: C at 3.9 against NFPA Journal's 2.5. C also leads on ratings volume (632 vs 8). NFPA Journal's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
